Last month I sent out a friendly reminder to back-up your important files. I sent out that reminder after watching one of my colleagues panic when he lost a flashdrive full of important documents. In that reminder post I suggested backing-up your files to a service like DropBox or simply to a Google Docs account. Recently, I've been trying Sugar Sync for backing-up files and now add it to the list of good services for backing-up files.

Sugar Sync offers a free plan that allows you to store up to 5GB worth of files. You can sync multiple computers and mobile devices to your Sugar Sync account. Sugar Sync can be used on your computer and or Android phone, iPhone, Blackberry, and Windows Mobile phone. With Sugar Sync you can access your files anytime you can get online. You can also send and share files from any device you use to get online.

Dropbox allows you store your files online, easily share files with others, and sync your documents with multiple computers and mobile devices. You can get 2gb of storage for free. It basically works like an online flash drive.

This is a must have tool for educators! It's Free, Convenient, and Saves Time!
